Territory to Territory Tour: Ahhh... Cape Leveque

Wow is all I can say! We had heard it was beautiful and a must see, but Cape Leveque is one of those places you need to see yourself to believe how lovely it is! We were extremely lucky to get a cancellation for one of the beach huts at Kooljaman, a camp run by the local Indigenous people. They do have a campground where you can't take a caravan, but can take a tent, campertrailer or campervan. It's situated right on the point, with the campgrounds on the western side and the beach huts and log cabins on the eastern side.

We went and got a shade tent and blow up mattress from Bunnings in Broome and set off up the 'red' dirt road which lasted for 90km and ended at Beagle Bay where there was a famous church with the altar and other decorations made of pearl shells.

A labour of love....

We were then pleasantly surprised to find that the last 90km was tarmac which ended at this lovely reception area and cafe.

Over the hill and around the corner was our beach shack 'Gnibe' - it's the first one and we think the best as it's right at the start of the cliffs facing away from the next shack so you had nothing to obstruct your view and felt quite isolated. All we had to do was clamber down the rocks and were on a gorgeous beach!

Inside the shack! Just to the left was a cold water shower which was actually quite warm!
A toilet and hot shower was just a short walk away and cooking was done on the fire just in front of the shack.
